Thanks Kyt, don't know how I missed this the first time around. The article makes for fascinating reading (some of the American description of RAF terminology/practice etc was amusing but, hey, a great story) adn although the name seems to be ringing a bell with me, I can safely say I was not aware of Lance Wade (suspect I'm thinking of another Wade).

Would be intriguing to find out more about the e-book thatis mentioned by one of the readers commenting at the end of the article. Also be interesting to check out the Texas museum's Wade display.

Great post.
